Shunt by Tom Rubython
Shunt tells the story of James Hunt's life, his victories on the track, the girls he loved and lost and the huge amounts of money he earned and spent. No stone has been left unturned, no fact too small to include, including his lifelong devotion to dogs and budgerigars. It is the first proper story of a man loved by all those that knew him well but despised by people who did not understand the rules by which he lived his life. It is a story of a man whose like will almost certainly never be seen again.Tom Rubython is best known for writing Life of Senna, the authoritative biography of Ayrton Senna, a Brazilian race driver.
